ability to ensure that people hold on when getting into the bathtub and especially when getting out can. The handle must be easily attachable and removable at will.

The special task of the innovation is to be seen in the formation of the connecting part so that the attachment and the handle can be removed without tools and produces a sufficiently large clamping force can be.

This object is achieved by a handle with the features according to the protection claims. The subclaims have preferred embodiments and structural designs to the content.

With a handle according to the innovation, the adjustment of the distance between the handlebar and leg, as he can is required for attaching, done with the help of a twist grip on the connecting part. When the handle is placed, then turn the twist grip until it becomes stuck. The transformation the rotary movement in an up and down movement of the respective leg of the knee is carried out by a threaded connection. The clamping force cannot be released automatically unless you do turns the respective twist grip back when

you want to remove the handle »If parts of the handle come into contact with the bathtub, support elements are provided. The support in the vertical direction takes place in particular by a horizontal bottom surface of a plastic housing. In addition, this plastic housing is a pleasing one and attractive casing of the joint mechanism.

In the following, an exemplary embodiment of the innovation is described in more detail with reference to the enclosed Drawings.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a bathtub attached handle according to the innovation;

Fig. 2 shows on an enlarged scale a view of the handle in the direction of the pivot axis dar;

Fig. 3 is a corresponding cross-axis view;

Fig. 4 shows, on an enlarged scale, a horizontal section corresponding to IV-IV of Fig. 3;

FIG. 5 is a vertical section according to V-V of FIG. 4.

20th

The handle according to the innovation has a handle part 2, which, as shown in Fig. 1, over the edge of a Bathtub is held so that it is the person who goes into the bathtub or gets out, as Help can serve. The handle part 2 is part of a bracket 1 made of a tube with two parallel bars 3. On each Holm is approximately at right angles by means of a connecting part 10 with a joint an angled pipe section (knee section 5)

attached with a horizontal leg 5a and a vertical leg 5b. Elbow 5 will be like this pivoted and adjusted that a clamping force arises between the respective spar 3 and the leg 5b. Holm3und leg 5b each have support elements 4 made of a soft material on the edge of the bathtub so that no damage occurs.

As can be seen from Fig. 2 and 3, each connecting part has a housing made of plastic, consisting of an upper part 15 and a lower part 14, both of which are connected to one another at a joint 16. One flat surface 14a is supported at the top on the edge of the bathtub. At the top of each plastic case is a Rotary handle 12 provided * By turning the rotary handle, the elbow is pivoted around the axis 13 and thus adjusted in such a way that a clamping force is created between the leg 5b and the spar 3.

The plastic housing 14/15 takes (Fig. 4 and 5) a sheet metal housing 20, which in cross section a Has a U shape. The axle pin of the axle 13, in which the horizontal leg 5a is pivotably mounted, is received by two side walls of the sheet metal housing 20. One end of the leg 5a protrudes into the case into it. A cylinder 23 is located there radially

firmly attached in the leg 5a. A threaded bolt 22 is rotatable in a cover 21 of the sheet metal housing and not slidably mounted. The threaded bolt 22 is held by a radial thread of the cylinder 23 recorded. If the threaded bolt 22 is rotated by means of the rotary handle 12 applied above, then the cylinder 23 moves depending on the direction of rotation towards the ceiling 21 of the sheet metal housing or in the opposite direction Direction, with the end of the leg 5a being carried along and the leg thus being carried around the axis 13 is pivoted.

The ends of the cylinder 23 (FIG. 4) protrude slightly beyond the wall of the leg 5a and are there in each case guided in elongated holes 24 in the wall of the sheet metal housing 20.

The threaded bolt 22 is mounted in the ceiling 21 of the sheet metal housing and also in an axle bearing 17 of the plastic housing 14.

The two walls of the sheet metal housing 20 also form an abutment 26 through which the spar 3 in is held in an immovable position. A retaining pin 27 is inserted through the walls of the sheet metal housing. There is also a on the plastic housing Abutment 18 formed for the spar 3.
